Cross Country

Meg is a senior at Mudd and a talented 400 hurdle runner. While
cross country courses are ‘slightly’ longer and usually
involve little ‘hurdling’, Meg enjoys the camaraderie
of the cross-country team and is driven by “the desire to
improve and PR” and sharing workouts with her teammates.
Before races, she likes to close her eyes and imagine herself
running well. She loves hilly runs and if she were able to pick any
workout to do, it would be 1000 loops, but with “only half
the normal number of reps”! While she runs, she is usually
calculating how much of the run is left, or calculating the
distance of the tangent to the next corner, as a true Mudder would
do. To fuel all of the running and computer science work she does,
Meg loves to eat Pierogies. Meg hopes to improve her times of
24:10.1 (6k) and 19:43 (5k) this season.
